I am playing vintage tomorrow. I normally play legacy but I throw this together.
Lands - 18
4 Gaea's Cradle
8 Fetches
1 Bayou
1 Tropical Island
2 Forest
1 Black Lotus
1 Mox Emerald
Spells - 15
4 Glimpse of Nature
4 Green Sun's Zenith
2 Natural Order
3 Skullclamp
1 Ancestral Recall
1 Timetwister
Creatures - 28
1 Dryad Arbor
4 Heritage Druid
4 Birchlore Rangers
4 Nettle Sentinel
3 Wirewood Symbiote
3 Elvish Visionary
2 Quirion Ranger
1 Fyndhorn Elves
1 Reclamation Sage
2 Craterhoof Behemoth
1 Ruric Thar
2 Deahtrite Shaman
Sideboard - 15
3 Duress
4 Leyline of the Void
4 Swang Song
2 Abrupt Decay
1 Reclamation Sage
1 Creeping Corrosion
No idea what the format is like so any and all input is appreciated.
Legacy:
Combo Elves
WB Tokens
Cheeri0s
4 Swan Songs with a single Tropical is very greedy with how much LD there is in the format. Same with a single Bayou and 5 black cards in the side.

To be fair, Deathrite and Birchlore are also colored sources, and Quirion Ranger can protect either land from Strip/Waste. That, and the chances that they aren't hitting Gaea's Cradle instead are fairly slim. So it isn't all that greedy, though I'd consider a second Tropical in general given a total of six blue cards counting the maindeck power.
Survival of the Fittest can easily replace Natural Order and Craterhoof engine. There seems to be too many engines in the list; focus on the more powerful ones:
Skullclamp
Glimpse of Nature
and
Creature tutors (GSZ or Survival)

Honestly, this has been tried before to a less than stellar result. IMHO the archetype is a nombo in Vintage.
But if you must...
The list you posted is essentially unplayable in this format.
You need to take a hard look at your local meta game and widely accepted format archetypes and go from there.
From my perspective you really need to figure out if Caverns -> Reclamation Sage is superior to Deathrite Shaman -> Abrupt Decay.
If you focus on Glimpse I'd say Caverns - Sage is the better option. Koby is right in that you need to pick an engine and focus. I'd argue you really do not want more than 1/2 Skullclamp. I definitely think Natural Order is a mistake and Zenith is questionable. The only benefit this deck has in Vintage is it's ability to vomit dudes on the board unfortunately this is bound to run straight into a Toxic Deluge/Oath of Druids.
